The short answer is that you can definitely use BackupPC for your
environment.
I have used BackupPC in the past for a network of a couple hundred servers.
The limitations will be in the capabilities of the hardware and/or the
network, in which case you might need to use multiple BackupPC servers.
This will depend on your scenario (i.e. YMMV). I estimate that a good ratio
of BackupPC server per clients is 1:50 (one BackupPC server backs up 50
clients) using relatively cheap servers for backups (single CPU, ~8GB RAM,
commodity non-enterprise class SATA disks).
